Nick Saban‘s wonderful dancing has officially returned to social media in one of the best videos you’ll see all week.

Last season, a video of Saban doing the Cupid Shuffle at a recruits’ home made waves, and it’s happening again. No, you’re not seeing double, Saban broke out the patented move for a second straight year.

Check out the video below. Perhaps it’s the Alabama football coach’s secret recruiting trick that gets the Crimson Tide over the edge.

If doing the Cupid Shuffle leads to the amount of success Saban has had, we’re about to see every college football coach in the nation bring it out on the recruiting trail. Who knows, maybe even the Cha Cha Slide will make an appearance one of these days.

Regardless of your feelings on Nick Saban and Alabama, you’ve got to love the Crimson Tide leader’s commitment to the bit. He certainly could just drop his rings on the table, but breaking out the dance moves is more than respectable.

“So but the problem with the way the whole system is, there’s no accounting for that, right,” Saban said. “So, all we do is take the teams that win the most games at the end of the year, put them in the playoffs. But do you really get the best teams? When they told me that we would be favored against three out of the four teams that got in the playoff, I’m like, why aren’t we in the playoffs?”

That’s where Saban questioned if the teams in front of Alabama last season were better. The four teams were GeorgiaMichiganTCU and Ohio State.

“Does that mean they have a better team,” Saban said. “Or does it mean that those people don’t know what they’re talking about? I really don’t know that. But I’m not being critical of anybody. But if you’re going to have parity, you have to have a better way of figuring out who has the best teams, not just because you lose two games on the last play of the game.

“That knocks you out when you may be better than somebody else who didn’t have the same circumstances that they had played.”
